Don't blame the tomatoes!

What bugs me about buggy fruits and veggies is that they are getting a bum rap. Salmonella and E. coli, along with most other candidates for nastiest variety of common food-borne infection, reside in the intestines of animals. Produce gets contaminated by animal waste, and thus becomes a delivery vehicle for the infectious agent.

Wal-Mart puts the squeeze on food costs

(Fortune Magazine) -- With gas, grain, and dairy prices exploding, you'd think the biggest seller of corn flakes and Cocoa Puffs would be getting hit by rising food costs. But Wal-Mart has temporarily rolled back prices on hundreds of food items by as much as 30% this year. How? By pressuring vendors to take costs out of the supply chain.

Chocolate: Food of the Gods

While today most of us probably associate chocolate with Nestle’s or Dove bars, originally it was prepared in the form of a spicy drink. Chocolate is made from the seeds of the cacao plant, a rain forest plant that fortunately (!) was discovered at least 3000 years ago in Mesoamerica, judging from residue found in Honduran jars dating from about 1100 BCE.

clipper's remarks: lovely site about food in the middle ages

Clip Source: expositions.bnf.fr

In the Middle Ages, two meals a day were served. Our modern luncheon was called “dinner” and was served in the morning, between 10 and 11, whilst supper was served between 4 and 7 o’clock.
At the end of the Middle Ages, food was very rich in meat and it was not until the 19^th century that such a high level of meat consumption was to be found in the towns and above all, in the country.
